[MyNISMO314]

ooo ur damn rights!!!

lets see wat did i get done... dash crack is pretty tough to fix so i filled it and painted it and im gonna either cover it with like a plaque type cover, like the lo rider crowd puts in their cars, or put some gauges in there...

rolled my fenders, it wasnt super hard, and turned out decent.

got my wheels on finally 17x8 and 18x9.5 with 205 40 17s and 235 4018's

[mRodiek]

Search Positron, he did a white up iirc and he said it was a pain in the a** as well, and Im not sure how much improvement it really offers.

[JRPS13]

mynismo314 - more pics to come my friend

WC - i feel that. i think ill attempt it tomorrow. ill post how it turns out

Driftboy07 - i heard its one of the best suspension mods plus mine has a ton of play in it

[White Comet]

yeah its worth it but a real pain

[JRPS13]

has any body done s14 peak performance inner tie rods on an s13?!?!?!im trying to figure out how to get the locking tabs to work....

[JRPS13]

o i said fcuk the locking tabs and put on some red loctite on that b1tch on the inner tie rods

now quick question - just tighten the top and bottom nuts on the adjustable tie rod ends???? loctite....

anyone got a "fool proof" way of do a self alignment.......

since the wastegate didnt clear the brakelines i have to make an adaptor onto the flange i had welded on my manifold. heres the only picture update for the day



tomorrow is gonna be an all day deal hopefully i can finish all loose ends and have her running

o how i miss my car.... im excited for open dump action

to do list

[mRodiek]

Better start working

[JRPS13]

got a s*** load accomplished today

just cant fcukin figure out how to get my damn alignment at least driveable...she just bounces like both are toe'd inwards but she looks pretty damn straight........ ugghhhhh

anyways heres some pics for y'all to enjoy

[mRodiek]

Yay for progress! Are you on stock motor mounts?

[JRPS13]

yup i have stock motor mounts

another note....my vacuum lines are odd....i tried following a diagram on the site and couldnt get my bov to work...any clarificationright now i have the top right t'd to my stock fpr bov and boost gauge then the bottom tied into the top left....

[White Comet]

the bottom nipple? that shouldn't be used for anything. one of the top nipples is for fpr, the other is for bov or whatever else you want. i should which one is which since i just did it the other day, but i forget

[JRPS13]

the bov is really finicky...... only opens under alot of loadand i cant hear it over my wg and exhaust

got her on the road today barelyalignment still needs alot of attention

[White Comet]

hook the fpr up to the smaller top nipple and the bov up to the larger one. cap the bottom nipple. do this and everything will be fine

[JRPS13]

i think i might have done that.... the second time around i cant remember tho loli melted my wastegate vacuum line tho hahahaha

[JRPS13]

ugghhhh my horn doesnt work................

[White Comet]

green wire with a white stripe iirc. check its connection at the wheel and check the relay in the driver side glove box

[J240sx]

i think i might have done that.... the second time around i cant remember tho loli melted my wastegate vacuum line tho hahahaha

LOL. I just did that today.. I was wondering why is my car pulling so hard, this doesn't feel like stock boost. Turned out the vacuum line came loose and fell on top of the manifold.

[JRPS13]

lol yah exactly i was like holy sh1t this thing is haulin a** then i hit fuel cut at 5000rpm lol

does the horn have to sit flush against the steering wheel for it to work?

[JRPS13]

heres some pics

you can see the damage on the intercooler from the alignment shop, theyre trying to say they didnt do it....

old dp scraped to sh1t, new dp... same thing

needs moar lower

sooo my ARC bov is being a pita, anyone know anything about these damn things.... are they like a type r bov? only open at 1bar? i took it off and it seemed like the seat for the piston was loose so i pressed the piston in and it sealed... then i shook it and it came loose again. so i tightened the adjuster screw on top and its like it is loose sometimes and not... wth

now im just fcukin with the fitment of the rebar and bumper
